Default RE: Crossbows are not archery!

I doubt if those people that would limit technology will have much success. The cards are stacked against you. The archery lobby is mostly made up of modern archery manufacturers and with the majority of bowhunters using that techology, they have a lot of clout. The other issue is CWD. The emphasis has switched from quantity wildlife management to balanced habitat management. Has anyone noticed the increased issuance of doe permits for the gun season? Last year, everyone who applied for a doe permit in Minnesota and /or extra management permit got one. (At least everyone I know) The Midwest deer herd has to be reduced to fight the CWD. This will not lead to restrictions that will reduce the harvest totals. The best we can hope for is seperate seasons. Just another reason I'm looking to buy my own land. Dick
